Sometimes All We Need Is A Break

Sometimes what we really need is a break. A break from our routine. I am not sure about how everyone else functions. I am one of those person who wants to do the right thing, rather than what is right for me. That's how I rationalize things and convince myself that: THIS IS THE RIGHT THING, IT DOESNT SEEM CONVENIENT, BUT I SHOULD DO IT BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO....you keep doing something long enough and sometimes you start believing it. Most of the time, U get burnt out, U set unrealistic expectations from others, start feeling frustrated. Eventually, U forget that it was you who made that decision to begin with and carry a burden you can't let go. It's not nice, but it feels like there's no way out from it. So, take a step back. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are just human. If you don't have the bravery to start saying no, the least you could do is to take a step back. Slowly avoid situations which put U under the bus. Avoid people who drain you. I'm sure all of us have had emotionally draining friends who can talk for hours of the problems. It's exhausting. I'm learning the soft skills myself to be a better person. To be the captain of my ship. While attempting that, if you are an over thinker like me...... surrender....surrender to the universe or god if you believe in him. Into my 40s now, one of the hardest lesson I've learnt is that: not everyone is out there to screw you over. Whether it's at work, or amongst friends. Always trying to be 2 steps ahead can be tiring. I can do this...I'm going to try it...
